Difficult to beat
17 years ago
I am one of those people who is extremely meticulous when it comes to decisions. I like to know I am getting the best deal if I am going to spend money. As I began looking for smartphones, the Epix immediately stood out to me. As far as features go, the Epix is packed. It also has the touchscreen and optical mouse, which is a huge plus. The only downside to the mouse is when you are typing and you need to go back one character; there is no back button without a d-pad.
I looked very carefully at the HTC fuze and tilt, but both were bulky and the processors aren't as fast as the Epix. Also, the Fuze's screen is nice, but it feels cramped compared to the Epix. The Blackberry Bold has a nice screen and a comparable processor, but it doesn't have a touchscreen and it's REALLY expensive. The Epix is also an excellent middle ground as far a size. It is narrower than the Bold and much thinner and lighter than the Fuze or tilt.
WM 6.1 works great on the Epix; everything is zippy. The battery life is very good, though with a battery of that size one would expect it to be better. The display is crisp and big enough, but the touchscreen is not as responsive as some other phones. With that being said, the screen is definitely designed for fingers, not simply the stylus: this is the whole point of the custom "Samsung Today" screen: nice big button for your fingers!
A few annoyances: there is no light sensor, so the keyboard doesn't backlight automatically. This gets annoying in the middle of the day when I get into dim lighting and I want to type. The finger mouse is hard to use when my thumbs aren't totally dry. No tethering. And the speed dial really is annoying: it's not speedy at all. You still have to go through a bunch of screens, unless you simply press and hold the number; then it works great.
Overall, the phone is an absolute joy to use. I did my homework before buying it, and let me assure you there is not a better deal out there for a touchscreen that is this feature rich. It isn't receiving much publicity,but the Epix is really worth the money.

stick with the Blackjack II
17 years ago
So I looked this phone up, and it seemed like a good upgrade from the Blackjack II. At first, I thought the touch screen and the mouse would be cool, until I got the phone. Unfortunately, this phone is very hard to use. First off, if you're gonna have a touch screen, it is helpful for it to be big, so that the buttons you push are precise, but don't require extremely careful diligence. With this phone, its very easy to hit the wrong thing, or to have to look extremely carefully, whereas the Iphone and the Blackberry Storm, you have big icons, and all of the programs are easily accessible. There is just too much stuff on the main menu for a touch screen, and not that big a touch screen. Windows Mobile just isn't for touch screens, as you can't even scroll the screen with it, except at the bar, which is imprecise and annoying.
My second complaint about the phone is how user unfriendly it is. With the calendar, you can't even hit a button to go to the next day, and although you can use the touch screen, with you hands focused on the bottom of the phone, its terribly inconvenient. The main screen is also very hard to use, as it again requires moving the mouse, or touching it. The 4 way d-pad is no fun to use on this phone, as you got to be careful moving it, and it goes really slow.
With respect to the mouse, the feature takes away being able to scroll, as you can only hit the side bar, which is annoying. It was a well intentioned idea, but a poor one. I do like having a QWERTY for texting, which is the best thing about this touchscreen.
All in all, if Samsung were going to make a phone with a touch screen and keyboard, it should have just eliminated the mouse. If Windows mobile were touch friendlier, this would be the perfect phone, as the iphone and storm are hard to text on. No mouse would have allowed for a bigger touch screen, which would have been awesome were Windows Mobile suited to it. This phone was a good effort, but unfortunately, it loses the user friendliness of the Blackjack II, which does nearly everything this phone does, but in a way which users don't have to watch every move they make, and make them so carefully. While the BJII is no touch screen, at least its layout makes for a fun and simple way to go about the phone. If you were thinking this phone is an upgrade to the Blackjack II, think again.

It's OK
16 years ago
It was the best phone until 5 months ago. The screen stop working correctly. Any where I touch the it would respond that I was touching the far right hand corner. It freeze's a couple time a month. And it would sometimes forwards some calls to voicemail. When the phone worked correctly it was the BEST phone that I ever owned!!

Best Phone(:
16 years ago
Okayy, im 13. I have basically had every single phone from at&t starting with a razor, walkman, at&t tilt, blackberry, samsung etrinty, & many more. Just to name a few. Yes, it is true. I may have a phone addiction. as my mom says. lol, but this is by far the best phone. it has every feature. You can even change the picture of the optical mouse. to a flower, snowman, heart, & many more. It is defiantly a reliable phone. The battery is good. It has to be charged daily, but every PDA does. I am on the internet all the time. & texting and talking on the phone 25/9. if that makes sense. and it still stays charged. The interent is quite fast. Its not that heavy or bulky. The camera is excellent. you can edit your pictures easily from the phone. or upload them to facebook from the phone. the phone is a little tricky to use at first, but you get use to it. The speaker is so loud. it sounds like an intercom almost. you can adjest the sound level when your talking. It is so easy to text on. You can adjust the phone to what you want it to show on the main menues. I drop it all the time. & it still works. I have dropped it on concrete, really hared. it still works, i love this phone. and would recommend it to anyone! its the best at&t has to offer. GET IT ! :) it will not dissapoint you..
Yes, I recommend this product.
